I have a buddy with a American LaFrance fire truck bar. It is on casters in his shop about one inch off the floor. He is looking for an idea to be able to pick it up, load it on his trailer and then be able to wheel it across a lawn and use at backyard parties. I know we have lots of brains working on this forum. abab2

Don't know how to solve his problem but that thing is cool! Maybe he could put larger 'all terrain' casters on it.

Get a large sheet of plywood and use it for a ramp to load on the truck, and then put it on the lawn to roll it into place.

I like Norm's idea, only I would use 2 sheets of 1/2" plywood. Stacked together to make the ramp, then leap frogged in front of each other to get across the lawn. I bet you could even put some clips on the ends to join them together as you leapfrog them

Can you turn on the lights and siren when the tequila shots are ready?

Lights and sirens function.

Use a common cheap hand-truck with larger size pneumatic tires. I have wheeled a couple hundred pounds of wide cabinet across lawns that way. Go slow, and pull, not push.

Would like to find a way to quick mount the pneumatic tires and roll it around. A four wheel wagon with a drop center that could be jacked up??????
